http://www.vg247.com/2014/04/16/infamous-second-son-patch-with-photo-mode-goes-live-tomorrow/#commentsWed, 16 Apr 2014 16:48:13 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=465476Sucker Punch will release an inFamous: Second Son patch tomorrow, April 17.

The update will allow PlayStation 4 users to disable the HUD, and adjust the time of day once the game has been completed.

The ability to cap – not lock – the framerate at 30 FPS was added, along with localization text changes, and a couple of fixes “for rare crashes in the game.”

Second Son will now pause should the batteries on your controller die, and those playing on expert difficulty will be notified in the options dialog if they are qualified for the “Unstoppable” trophy.

Photo Mode will also be included in the patch, which enables player to enable photo mode within the game options. To use it, click L3 to pause the game, and a suite of internal tools like setting depth of field will be available to take screencaps.

The tutorial video on Photo Mode is posted above.

“These options and settings, including frame rate, will reset to defaults each time you restart the game,” said Sucker Punch. “We chose to not disturb our game save file format with this patch in order get these features to you as quickly as we could.

“Additionally, Photo Mode will only work in situations where the camera is freely movable by players. In scripted sequences or cutscenes you can still take screenshots of course, just not with the Photo Mode tools.”

Here’s what you have to look forward to:

Change time-of-day: Once you beat the game, a new entry will appear on the options menu to allow you to select the time of day.

HUD on/off: An option to let players turn the HUD on and off – especially useful for screenshot purposes

Cap at 30fps: Internally, Sucker Punch “prefer the unlocked frame rate,” but recognizes a group of players find the unlocked frame rate “very distressing.” The team will provide a way to ensure the game is not bumping up over 30fps is that’s how one prefers to play.

The QA team is also working to “identify and resolve key bugs,” and important fixes are tentatively scheduled to be included in the patch along with a “few other little things too,” co-founder and producer Brian Flemming teased.

A release date for the updates will be announced soon, and the earliest the patch and new features can be released is “about two weeks from now.”

http://www.vg247.com/2013/08/21/infamous-second-son-developer-diary-discusses-dualshock-4-integration/#commentsWed, 21 Aug 2013 13:03:53 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=400622InFamous: Second Son was shown behind closed doors at gamescom yesterday, and to give you an idea of what Sucker Punch discussed with the media, the team has released a short developer dairy.

According to Sucker Punch, it is using DualShock 4 in some “really cool ways to bring players even deeper into Second Son.” See for yourself what the team has included below.

VG247 had a chance to see how the controls work at Gamescom. The speaker on the Dual Shock 4 plays phone calls to the game’s protagonist, Delson. The live gameplay demo shows Sucker Punch take Delson through a D.U.P. checkpoint that’s trying to find anyone with the Conduit gene and eliminate them.

Delson had to put his finger on a scanner to be screened. To do this, you put your own finger on the touchpad. The controller beeped and rumbled while it was scanning. The touchpad is also used to perform stealth take-downs. You can slide up on the pad to raise power nodes and then press R2 to punch and destroy them.

InFamous: Second Son is expected sometime in spring 2014 on PS4, and you can check out a new trailer and screenshots for it through yesterday’s post.

In other news, Infamous: Second Son may contain multiplayer if new rumors prove true.

“We’re super-excited about all the opportunities that we have,” said Flemming. “One of the big guidelines for us though is that we want to do one thing at a time. We’re trying, even in these days of increasing budgets and increasing demands on us, we’re really trying to make sure that we have really good quality and we stay focused. We’ve always told Sony, ‘Hey, the one thing we don’t want to change is that we do one thing at a time. We really think we can make a better quality product by not splitting our focus.’

“That’s been a formative goal of the studio throughout its sixteen-year history. We’ve discussed all kinds of different options when we finished Infamous 2. We had a five-year plan about five years ago, which involved, ‘we want to make this transition to the new hardware.’ It didn’t exist at that point, but we felt like, ‘There’s a chance here that we can do something in the launch window for the new hardware’ and that was a terrific reason to do a third Infamous game. We didn’t want to just do it to do it. We wanted to really push ourselves. That’s how we made that decision. It wasn’t pro- or anti-Vita, rather ‘Where would be the best place for us to go next?’

“Sony is a part of that decision, but we’re really grateful that they listen a lot to what we want to do and where we want to grow.”

Infamous: Second Son is slated for release on PS4 in early 2014, and there’s a rumor floating around the game may contain multiplayer, according to a brochure image handed over to Videogamer.

The game’s page in the document Second Son as supporting one player offline, with “online players TBC”. Other offline games featured in the document didn’t include a listing for online player count.

Sucker Punch has yet to announce a multiplayer mode for inFamous: Second Son.

The information has been removed since coming to light, but Siliconera nabbed a screen grab before removal. Motion Capture work on Second Son was handled by Digital Domain, which is noted for its in-game cinematics and teaser trailers for Gears of War and The Darkness 2. A rep for the firm told PlayStation Lifestyle that no one on the dev team would have such information, which is probably why it was removed from the resume. At any rate, it will be coming to the system at some point. Get more through the link. Second Son was announced during the PS4 reveal last month.
